Particular also has an emitter, so you can decide where these particles will being their “life’s journey”. Particular’s particles are born, do something in their “lives” (change color, grow bigger, etc), and then they, for lack of a better term, die. It’s very interesting that Red Giant decided to focus on Particular and Form for this update, as they are very similar effects to each other, but different in one key way.

Once applied, you’ll notice that the standard default particle system looks just the way it has since version 1.0 of the effect. Well, Particular’s toolset has been expanded to be more in line with MB Looks, as well as other effects in the Red Giant family (like Universe). If you’re familiar with Magic Bullet Looks, you’ll know that it was designed with a very cool interface that let’s you expose and hide all the panels you need to work with, so you can keep your work as the center of attention. Particular has taken some interesting steps over the last few years, and it’s been an interesting journey for it, as well as the other effects that Red Giant make. What’s important for me to point out with the Trapcode suite, is that when a new release comes along, not necessarily all the effects are updated, so in this version the effects that are the same as the previous release include:

The three effects that received updates directly within Trapcode Suite 14 are: Paricular, Form and Tao. For anyone specializing in video effects this article is a good read on what benefits the Trapcode Suite 14 update has. Red Giant released Trapcode Suite 14, the latest After Effects plug-in. The cost or difficulty of producing an effect live may cause the effect to be produced in post-production and that's where a solid software for video effects is imperative. There are so many visual effects in shows and movies today that may go unnoticed because of their realism.

McAuliffe Video effects are incredibly important with any project today.
